I spotted a small error here: “Buck is also one of 12 enigmatic people, including singer Michael Jackson and model Kate Moss, to have their entire body cast in gold by UK artist Marc Quinn.”

Buck’s sculpture is actually being done in marble! He can’t wait to see it!

Hi Buck!

I have to admit that you seem to be a very cool guy. Would love to take a beer or two with you really. I just watched your interview (The netherland-one on Jensen Show), and you seem to be a very humorous and cool person. I did really have some kind of prejudice towards you when I first heard about you, and these all kinds of questions arised in me: “Why? Who is “THAT”? What was the reason? What does IT sound like?” and so forward. I didn’t seem to look at you like a normal person, but as some kind of object, thinking of you as “IT” like some Frankestein monster. And I admit I was totally wrong. It is hard to admit stuff like that as an adult man, but I still did it.

You have affected my view about world quite much; There are different people, and different persons. You are just one among us, and I consider you as “Cool guy”. Prejudice is always bad, and you have proved my perjudicions once again wrong. You are a cool person, open-minded and as Jensen said, HAPPY PERSON!

Good luck be with you with everything you do. I am not myself into porn-industry itself, nor porn, but I appreciate what you do! For example you said in Jensen show; “70 000 dollars is a lot of money!”, it’s not what you usually hear from rich person! I mean man, you are cool. Keep it, keep it living, you are one of the people affecting our current culture, even in “underground-scene”, that porn still is to some people.

Below are some excerpts from the article that states, “Prostitutes, strippers, and porn stars are now as ubiquitous on cable as cops are on network TV.”

Not So Dirty Little Secrets

. . . . Not everyone who does reality shows is willing to enter lock-down with a Baldwin brother or suck face with Flavor Flav. Though proud to be “the first man” on the hit WE TV series “Secret Lives of Women,” porn star Buck Angel (“The Man With a Pussy” ™) is adamant: “You will never see me on ‘Celebrity Detox’ or whatever it is,” he says.

“Secret Lives,” like “Cathouse,” “Family Business,” and even “The Girls Next Door,” is part of a kinder, gentler reality subgenre. Here, adult industry participants are cast not as sideshow exhibits or human pit bulls, but as star attractions. Though equally voyeuristic, the pace is less frenetic, conflicts less orchestrated, and the mundane is mixed in with the titillating to project a more balanced and positive image of participants.

“They were totally respectful,” says Nicki Hunter of her experience with the “Secret Lives of Women” producers, who featured her and Buck Angel in the recent “Porn Stars” episode. “They gave me a very wide berth. They said, ‘We’ll only do whatever you feel comfortable with. We want to know all about you.’”

With some trepidation, Hunter let the five-person crew from the L.A.-based KAOS Productions follow her around for four days: at home, in the hospital (Hunter is in remission after a bout with leukemia), and at a Vegas adult industry convention. The only line Hunter drew was at filming her children. At another point, she asked to see the footage. It was a test. They obliged. “I realized then that there wasn’t a problem,” she says.

Angel was equally loath to let his guard down. “I wanted to make sure they portrayed me and my life in a positive manner,” he says. “People can misconstrue things. Someone can say ‘We’re not going to do this,’ and then everything can change in editing.”

What Angel wanted was assurances that he would not be labeled, that he would be shown “as a normal person.” He was also nervous about his past drug use. To reassure him, the producers gave him a DVD of a previous show about a transgender subject. It brought tears to his eyes. Angel was in.

Angel let them film him at home in Mexico, talk with his partner, and follow him to the AVN awards. On the show he talks openly about his private life and the controversy over whether someone who has not taken the final surgical step should be nominated for a transgender performance. At one point, Angel tears up talking about his difficult childhood and his parents.

“I’m really amazed how many people saw it,” says Hunter. “A friend of mine, the biggest, toughest biker guy I know, sent me a text message after, saying ‘you just made me cry’.” Angel, too, got nearly all positive feedback. In one email, a 64-year-old grandmother wrote him to say, “I’m not into porn but you really are amazing.”

“You have to educate people,” Angel says of the experience. “Not everyone in the business is a drugged out loser.”

He really enjoyed speaking with them and doing this interview. They seemed to really understand where he is coming from and appreciate what he is doing and what he has brought to the adult industry.

Hope you enjoy reading it!
